[You volunteered to go to war, but your illness flared up, and your taijutsu abilities rapidly declined.] [You found the enemy who killed Master Chen and avenged your teacher.] [Because your illness had flared up, you paid a terrible price to kill the enemy. You were on the verge of death, but there was no Medical Ninja by your side.] [At death's door, you saw Kakashi Hatake after he had received the Sharingan. Rin Nohara treated your wounds, but it was useless.] [Kakashi Hatake said that you should have achieved far greater things.] [You lost too much blood and died...] [Simulation ended.] [System Evaluation: Although lazy, you lived a loyal and righteous life. You went to war to avenge your teacher. Your courage was commendable.] [Evaluation Rating: 2] [Reward Obtained: Level 2 Constitution Enhancement] [Reward Selection Card Obtained: Nara]
The simulation ended.
Naruto closed his eyes and felt the Level 2 Constitution Enhancement.
Compared to Level 1, the improvement was obviously much greater.
By now, Naruto's body no longer showed any signs of stunted growth.
There was also a Reward Selection Card.
Just as Naruto had guessed, he chose to obtain the character's taijutsu mastery.
Wave after wave of familiar yet unfamiliar memories appeared in Naruto's mind.
Those taijutsu moves and muscle memories were completely integrated into Naruto by the system.
Naruto opened the system panel.
He discovered that his Combat Power had risen from a pathetic 5 to 824.
The improvement was nothing short of enormous.
Having gained so much, Naruto smacked his lips and turned his attention to his final Simulation Opportunity.
This time, Naruto could draw three character attributes.
And this character was theoretically the strongest among his three simulation chances.
"System, continue the simulation!"
[Character Surnames Drawn: Mikami, Hata, Aoi]
[Character Talents Drawn: Shouji, Multiple Times, Underwear]
[...]
[Character Appearance Drawn: Two Pieces of Trash, Minato Namikaze]
For the third simulation,
the characters drawn for the attributes disappointed Naruto somewhat.
He did not recognize any of these characters.
It was clear that even in the original story, they were merely insignificant extras.
Other than having his real father's looks backing him up, everything else was trash.
And in the simulation, he had only lived for a mere ten years.
In the end, he had gotten nothing but good looks.
Fortunately, the system's lowest rating after a simulation was 1, so Naruto's constitution improved again.
Naruto was now far better off than before.
Previously, Naruto had clearly shown signs of stunted growth.
But now, he no longer looked skinny and small. He had become healthy and strong.
Of the third simulation character's abilities, Naruto only chose the appearance.
Because the other abilities were not even as strong as Naruto himself.
However, when Naruto went to look in the mirror,
he discovered that his appearance had not changed much from before.
So Naruto asked the system in his heart, "System, didn't I fuse with my real father's looks? Why hasn't anything changed?"
[Ding~ To prevent the host's sudden changes from being noticed, the system has thoughtfully adopted a gradual process. Your appearance will slowly change over the next three months, which will help the host conceal your abilities.]
After hearing the system's explanation, Naruto nodded slightly.
As expected of the system. It had considered everything thoroughly.
After using all three simulations, Naruto had obtained two Level 1 Constitution Enhancements and one Level 2 Constitution Enhancement.
He had gained taijutsu mastery that could rival Kakashi Hatake during his youth.
As well as Minato Namikaze's looks, which would gradually arrive over time.
On top of that, he had silver worth 400,000 yuan in purchasing power.
Compared to becoming rich overnight, this felt even better.
Naruto looked at the Simulation Opportunities on the system panel, now reduced to zero, and asked the system.
"System, how can I obtain Simulation Opportunities?"
[Ding~ The system will issue tasks at intervals. The host may choose to accept or refuse them. After refusing, the system will generate a task of equal difficulty. Completing tasks can earn simulation attempts.]
So that was how it worked.
He wondered when the tasks would be issued.
But Naruto was not in a hurry.
Just like his personality, he preferred to let things happen naturally and enjoyed peace and quiet.
Besides, the tasks issued by the system were not mandatory.
That also gave Naruto a sense of freedom, of not being restrained.
At this stage, Naruto Uzumaki was still studying at the Ninja Academy.
The next day,
after getting up and washing, Naruto slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed to the Ninja Academy.
Because Naruto had transmigrated here, his personality differed from the one in the original story.
Naruto's image in Konoha was still not particularly good.
But Naruto had never pulled any pranks, so everyone treated him like a little nobody.
Naruto also enjoyed this feeling of solitude.
It was nice when no one bothered him!
After settling breakfast,
Naruto made his way to the entrance of the Ninja Academy.
Small groups of ninja students were being brought over by their parents.
But Naruto did not know most of them.
As for how everyone else had parents to see them off,
perhaps Naruto would once have felt sad about it.
But after awakening the memories of his past life, he had come to terms with it.
Naruto was far more interested in this world.
He wanted to see the characters and plot from the original story for himself.
So at this stage, he should improve his strength as much as possible.
When Naruto entered the classroom, he gradually saw familiar characters from his memories.
The shy Hinata, the noisy Sakura Haruno and Ino.
The sleepy-looking Shikamaru and the arrogant Kiba Inuzuka.
As mentioned before,
because Naruto neither pulled pranks nor caused trouble,
he had barely interacted with anyone.
Only one little Byakugan princess would occasionally watch Naruto in silence.
But Naruto did not go up to greet her.
To outsiders, he was nothing more than a monster.
Naruto did not know whether the Hyuga Clan knew the truth behind the Nine-Tails incident back then.
But what he did know was this:
if anyone from the Hyuga Clan discovered that he was interacting with Hinata,
then something bad would definitely happen.
Naruto walked over and sat down in his seat.
His seat was by the window in the back row.
After sitting down, Naruto happened to meet Hinata's eyes as she secretly watched him.
Hinata immediately turned away in panic, like a startled little spirit.
She obediently placed both hands in front of herself, pretending to listen attentively.
A faint blush appeared on her delicate, fair little face.
But Iruka had not even entered the classroom yet.
Naruto smiled slightly and could not help thinking, She really is so innocent and adorable~
Before long, Iruka entered the classroom.
He immediately announced something.
There would be a written test today!
After hearing those words, the students below all reacted differently.
Sakura Haruno and Ino exchanged a glance, and faint sparks seemed to flicker between their gazes.
The top three scores in written tests were usually claimed by Sakura Haruno, Ino, and Hinata.
Shino and Sasuke hovered around the top five.
Every written test was really a contest between Sakura Haruno and Ino.
Sakura Haruno nudged Ino with her elbow and whispered, "Ino, if you lose this time, you'll have to be my wingwoman."
